Good morning all, I need to simplify my thinking.I have meetings In Dayton in the next few weeks to discuss how I can benefit the immediate community in which have been active.Meetings are to be scheduled with Catholic charities, Several veterans organizations, The state department who places refugees in the area (predominantly from Nepal) and who prefer a pocket in town that is particularly inexpensive) My original plan was to offer housing on a room by room basis That will be fully supported with services including lawn care and maintenance, and all utilities included.

It's just that one would imagine that after a bankruptcy it's hard for it to get much worse, and the location is so fantastic you'd think there would be a chance for it to be discovered by refugees from the enormous prices elsewhere in the Bay Area.Minh L.

There were already many middle class refugees moving there from swank Hoboken, which it overlooks.

It's their fault, and the power lies with them to reverse their poor past choices and pick themselves up a bit by their own bootstraps.You're going to tell these new tenants that what's primarily wrong with them is not a legacy of a crime against humanity in the form of three hundred years of black slavery, followed by an unfunded emancipation that turned a huge number of Americans into desperate economic refugees based on the color of their skin, followed by a legacy of organized race hatred, bigotry, pseudoscientific and religious condemnation, and of course overwhelming and widespread intimidation and coercion, followed by a series of failed half-hearted half-measures coupled with an absolute refusal to consider slave reparations and the most lopsided minority levels of poverty and incarceration in the developed world.You're going to explain to these black folks that all that is of secondary importance, and what's REALLY important now is that they get better managing their money so they can hand it over to you more efficiently and you won't have to work so hard to get it.

By way of background I am a corporate refugee who has been laid off for the 3rd time since 2008 due to business restructuring or M&A.

My wife volunteers with a non-profit organization that helps international refugees and immigrants learn English and assimilate into American culture. 

@Kalid Alogbi   I have been doing volunteer work with refugees for 25 years. 

Those big blue city refugees bid war fighting each other for houses are going for that perfect picket fence suburban lifestyle, flush with the cash they got selling their big blue city townhome or condo. 

I recently attended a host2host.com zoom meeting, AirBNB Presents-Product Updates & Refugee Program.

But on the bright side, we got the STR  side of the duplex up and running and our first booking was through a non profit for an Afghan refugee family, with two little girls and they are great.
